Nick: "We are in tropical watch again."

Tropical watch? Is that a new segment at :50 when they can't decide whether it's tropical season or not?

Then at 1:30 PM ET, the LOT8s sponsorship ad played after the local forecast and before Day Planner resumed.

I just saw Nick Walker walk through the background while Cheryl and Kevin were standing by one of the big LCD screens while going to break.

The 12:08 PM ET local forecast had no LOT8s opener before it.

Went right from commercial to LF.

I wouldn't count on that. Comcast is the largest cable company in this country. Who'd be ablet o buy them out?

Me.

They're worth a dollar, I'll give them two.

With the 99, the Sox and the Dunkin' Donuts, I bet you're from Boston. The 99 brings back memories. I lived in Canton and I moved to AZ.

99 was around for that long? We didn't get any here until 2005. They must of been a much smaller chain back then.

99? Never heard of it before.

How come when I view forums on my PC, the text has rough edges and is a bit more blurry, whereas on my Mac the text has much smoother edges making it easier to read? I use Firefox 3 in both my Mac and PC.

Mac OS X has completely different font rendering then Windows does. However, enabling ClearType on Windows will make a big difference in font smoothing quality (but it's still way different then OS X's).

Personally, I can't stand Mac OS X's font smoothing. ClearType is much easier on the eyes, IMO.

If it was a reboot there would be no ldl

That has nothing do do with it. The LDL is totally separate from the actual satellite feed.

At the beginning of all the Weekend Now segments today, they've started out with a black screen for a few seconds before the opener appears. Are they having trouble cuing them or something?

That's not something you see everyday: they actually came back right after the recorded teaser at :06 to tell us about a tornado warning that was just issued before going to break.

They did something similar to that other night, too (it might have been Tuesday or Wednesday).
